Ambient-noise interferometry is an approach to estimate the transient response between two receivers without an active source. The method consists of cross-correlating recordings of ambient vibrations at a pair of passive instruments that act only as receivers. This dissertation contributes to evaluating the robustness and accuracy of Green's function reconstruction by cross-correlation of noise, disentangling the respective roles of ballistic and reverberated ('coda') signals. We focus our study on a strongly reverberating medium. We conduct a suite of experiments on a highly reverberating thin duralumin plate. We find that the coda of the arrivals contribute the most to retrieval of the Green's function. We also develop an analytical mode...
